Glasgow Terrorist Attack


Recommended Posts

Park Inn on West George Street apparently.    Wouldn't have been any paying guests there obviously.  Some suggestion that it might have been used to temporarily house the homeless but I'm not sure if that's true or not.

The tweet i saw said it was used for asylum seekers

Sounds like either an argument between asylum seekers / refugees in the hotel or a right wing terror attack. 

Hopefully it’s the first, can’t imagine we could have the second. Either way, terrible day.

The fact that the polis have actually shot someone dead suggests it was more than just some bam with a knife. They could easily overpower one person without shooting them.

Not really, if he's already killed 3 people,. stabbed multiple others, isn't complying and won't stop - what would you do?

Does suggest it's a bit more than a fight that's gotten out of hand though.

I read elsewhere they tried to taser him but the taser failed. The cop with the taser was stabbed repeatedly

Is there any need for terrorist to be in the title? We don't know anything about this at the moment, what the motivation or circumstances were, get it removed.

why does it matter?

If it turns out to be a right wing attack, I'm sure you'll be totally comfortable with him being described as a loner with a history of mental illness.

That's what I'd do. 

It's rare, very rare, that you hear of police in Scotland shooting people.

It'll become clearer over the course of time, but at the moment there's just something about this that feels different to the usual jakey/junkie/bam Glasgow violence.

Totally agree - unless it's someone off their tits on crystal-meth or something - not that I'm suggesting that's the case.

Get it removed? How about get to fuck 👍

We don't know anything about the incident, at the moment it's not a terrorist attack of any nature and it infers, whether you like it or not, Muslim or brown people being involved.

Seemingly as victims in this case though.
